 Northern region of India especially  National Capital Region New Delhi saw soaring rise in air pollution at the beginning of winter. It was unfortunate that it reached hazardous level at the  last fortnight which caused state officials to limit movement and many prohibitions were levied on state transport including shutting down of primary schools. 

There have been many reasons stated  especially stubble burning in farms being one of them  for rise in pollution . According to international surveys there are many plants that combat air pollutants by removing toxic chemicals and pollutants from air . 

These house plants can certainly help in controlling pollution in our environment : 

  Spider plant
